Remote Storage System

Item

Description

Model

Remote system's model.

  • VSP 5000 series (8)

    If the local storage does not display VSP 5000 series (8) in the pull-down menu for Model, enter 8 to specify VSP 5000 series storage.

    In a configuration where the following storage systems are connected with each other, you cannot perform operations involving remote paths from HDvM - SN on VSP 5000 series. Perform operations involving remote paths from CCI.

    • VSP 5000 series (any microcode version) and VSP E1090
  • VSP G1x00, and VSP F1500 (7)
  • (VSP 5000 series) VSP (6)

    In a configuration where VSP E590 or VSP E790 is connected to the following storage systems, you cannot perform operations involving remote paths from HDvM - SN on a storage system other than VSP E590 and VSP E790. Perform operations involving remote paths from CCI.

  • HUS VM (19)

HUS VM (19) and VSP E series, VSP G200, G400, G600, G800, VSP F400, F600, F800, VSP G/F350, G/F370, G/F700, G/F900 (18) can be selected only when System is selected for Connection Type.
